It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: include more information on how they attack, besides them tossing "pipes"

That's a Dark Lakitu. It rides a rain cloud. Max HP is 13, Attack is 5, and Defense is 0. It attacks by throwing pipes at you. If it's holding up a pipe[sic] when you jump on it, you'll get hurt. And sometimes the pipes[sic] it throws turn into Sky-Blue Spinies. Whoa! If you only attack the Spinies, you'll never win, so go after the Dark Lakitu!

Tattle Log #:

Dark Lakitus are stronger versions of Lakitus in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door where they are only found in the Pit of 100 Trials. They look like Lakitus, except their clouds are slightly darker and more brown, they have red shells, and they have a mean look on their face. Dark Lakitus also throw Sky-Blue Spinies instead of Spiny Eggs.

Trivia

  • In the English localization, it is mistakenly stated that Dark Lakitu's Sky-Blue Spinies hatch from "pipes" in Goombella's Tattle for both enemies. However, the supposed "pipes" which spawn Sky-Blue Spinies bear no resemblance to the conventional pipes of the Mario franchise and instead appear as regular blue Spiny Eggs. Their name is the result of a mistranslation: Spinies are referred to as 「パイポ」 Paipo in Japanese, which comes from a well-known Japanese folktale[1] but can also be interpreted (incorrectly, in this case) as an approximation of the English "pipe" into Japanese katakana. While 「パイポ」 Paipo was correctly rendered as "Spiny Egg" elsewhere in the English script of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door - namely, with regard to the standard species of Spiny fought in the game - the translation team seems to have overlooked the established convention with this variant, resulting in the "pipe" name.[2]
